skinnymixer’s Porcini Salt

I was once gifted a gorgeous jar of Truffle Salt from a dear friend, and loved putting it on my eggs and fried mushrooms for breakfast… This is a great way to seriously boost the flavour of dishes, season vegetables and meat and to make fairly tasteless button mushrooms taste amazing – just fry in a little butter and finish with the Porcini Salt! You can find dried porcini mushrooms at quality fruit & vegetable grocers, markets and online.

I made this on the weekend and it is divine. I added it to a tomato and bacon based pasta sauce I made last night and it made it taste better than ever. The extra kick provided from this salt mix lifts dishes to the next level.

my packet of porcini mushrooms says that they should be cooked thoroughly before consuming as they are wild mushrooms and are without the horticultural controls of cultivated crops. Is this just over cautious or should we really not be using porcini sprinkled on top as a seasoning?

Hi, just love the look of this recipe for porcini salt. At the end it says to store in the fridge for at least one year. Do you have to wait a year for the flavours to develop or is it meant to say store for up to one year?
